  • Patent number: 11827047
    Abstract: An inlay sheet for a book-like identification document. The inlet sheet may include a first hinge layer comprising polycarbonate and a second hinge layer comprising a flexible material different to polycarbonate, e.g. PET, polyurethane, fabric, mesh. The second hinge layer is attached to the first hinge layer. A first datapage layer and a second datapage layer are attached to the first hinge layer and the second hinge layer, respectively, such that the first and second hinge layers are positioned between the first and second datapage layers for forming a datapage section having a datapage thickness. The first and second datapage layers form a common datapage inner front edge and the first and second hinge layers extend beyond the common datapage inner front edge such that a hinge section is formed having a hinge thickness smaller than the datapage thickness.
